Gisele Might Not Be Retiring From the Runway After All

After days of frenzied coverage of what was widely reported to be Gisele's final runway show, her longtime agent confirmed to The New York Times that the supermodel's "final" show in Sao Paolo, Brazil, was not, in fact, her last. Instead, it seems, she will only be closing the chapter on her catwalking days in Brazil.

Anne Nelson, Bundchen's longtime agent at IMG Models, told the Times that the 34-year-old stunner would be "clos[ing] the chapter on the Brazilian runway.... It is important that we continue to work on all kinds of capacities within the fashion industry."

Bundchen herself seemed to confirm the news in a post on Instagram the day before the show, writing: "I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportunity to start this journey. Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business."

According to the Times story, IMG was inundated with calls about the supermodel's runway retirement and confirmed that the Brazilian bombshell is still wildly in demand. "I think a lot of people will still want her on the runway," Nelson told the Times. "Will she want to do it? That's a whole other story. It would have to come within an interesting angle, a unique opportunity. Will she do it? I can't guarantee that. But that people will call for her, yes."

It's no surprise that Bundchen would want to limit her time on the runway—indeed, her catwalk appearances aren't quite as frequent as other runway regulars—and the new positioning seems to open the door for special, one-off opportunities or appearances about which Bundchen feels passionately. So will she walk again or won't she? It appears it's an open-ended question.
